“I think Mason has been outstanding, he’s gone in there and been outstanding for us.

“I’ve got Tommy Rowe and Craig Alcock who could play there.

“When we’ve go with three centre halves, Tommy will play as a wing back.

“I think I’m ok with the positions I’ve got.

“Bringing in Ian the goalkeeper was not something we expected to do at this part of the season so that is more money the board has given me.

“I’ve got to be conscious of that and get one or two out, just because of numbers.

“I’m happy though because Mason has been fine.”

Ferguson revealed Garratt will remain on loan at National League side Eastleigh until the end of the season following a successful first month. The deal is not likely to be confirmed until the end of his initial spell.

“Tyler is really enjoying it there,” Ferguson said.

“He’s playing games, competitive games so I’m pleased he’ll be there until the end of the season.

“Then we’ll look at it. He needs a very good pre-season with us and hopefully he can kick on.”

Garratt is contracted to Rovers until the summer of 2019.

Fellow left back Taylor-Sinclair should be available at the end of February after recovering from knee ligament damage.
